OWENDALE-GAGETOWN —The focus for Owen-Gage’s students of the month for November is “Respectful of Others.” A student who is respectful of others cares about others and their property, demonstrates courtesy, cooperates with others and accepts differences in others. He/she also interacts appropriately with others. The following students have been chosen: Sierra Miller, first grade (elementary level), daughter of Christopher and Melissa Miller; Erin Morrish, sixth grade (junior high level), daughter of Mark Morrish and Janet Abfalter: Aaron Fahrner, eleventh grade (high school level), son of Charles and Terry Fahrner and David Binder, twelfth grade (senior student), son of Mark and Diane Binder.
